Description

[Technical Field]

[0001] The technology disclosed in this specification relates to a stove. [Background technology]

[0002] Conventionally, there is known a stove having an operating unit that is rotatably supported between a storage position where it is stored in a housing unit and an operating position where it is rotated forward from the storage position (see, for example, Patent Document 1). Specifically, the gas stove described in Patent Document 1 includes a housing that houses a gas burner and a lower panel that is provided in the housing and displaces between a predetermined first position and a second position in which at least a portion of the lower panel is positioned further forward than in the first position. The lower panel is secured to a frame. The frame includes a support wall that supports the lower panel and an extension extending from the support wall, and an operation panel is secured to the upper end of the support wall and near the end of the extension. [Prior art documents] [Patent documents]

[0003] [Patent Document 1] Japanese Patent Publication No. 2020-051663 Summary of the Invention [Problem to be solved by the invention]

[0004] Although the above-mentioned Patent Document 1 does not explicitly state how the operation panel section is engaged with the support wall section and the extension section, one possible method of engaging the operation panel section with the support wall section and the extension section is to provide an engaging section extending from the operation panel section toward the extension section and engage the engaging section with the edge of the opening formed in the extension section.

[0005] However, in the stove described in Patent Document 1, the extension part assumes a nearly upright position when in the operating position, so there is a risk that the broth dripping onto the operation panel part will flow around to the back of the extension part and enter the electrical board housed in the space between the operation panel part and the extension part through the opening formed in the extension part. This specification discloses a technology for preventing broth that has entered through the opening into which the locking portion is inserted from adversely affecting the electrical board housed in the space between the operation panel portion and the bottom wall portion. [Means for solving the problem]

[0006] A stove according to one aspect of the present invention comprises a housing in which a gas burner is housed, a front part attached to the front of the housing, and an operating unit pivotally supported on the front part so as to be rotatable between a storage position in which the operating unit is housed in the housing and an operating position rotated forward from the storage position, the operating unit having a rotating body pivotally supported on the front part, an operating panel unit engaged with the rotating body, the operating surface of which is tilted downward and rearward in the storage position and the operating surface of which is exposed to the outside in the operating position, and an electrical board disposed below the operating panel unit, the rotating body comprising a front wall portion which is oriented in a vertical direction in the storage position, and a bottom wall portion which forms a space in which the electrical board is housed between the operating panel portion and the rotating body, the rotating body extending from the middle of the front wall portion in the vertical direction and a bottom wall portion extending rearward, the rear end of which abuts against the operation panel portion rearward of the electrical board, the operation panel portion having a locking portion which extends toward the bottom wall portion rearward of the electrical board and forward of the position where the rear end of the bottom wall abuts, and which has a locking claw formed at its tip, and a first standing wall formed on the surface of the operation panel portion facing the bottom wall portion, the first standing wall extending in the left-right direction rearward of the electrical board and forward of the locking portion, the bottom wall portion having an opening into which the locking portion is inserted and the locking claw is locked at its edge, and a second standing wall formed on the surface of the bottom wall portion facing the operation panel portion, the second standing wall extending in the left-right direction forward of the opening and abutting against the first standing wall. [Effects of the Invention]

[0007] According to the above configuration, it is possible to prevent the broth that has entered through the opening into which the locking portion is inserted from adversely affecting the electrical circuit board housed in the space between the operation panel portion and the bottom wall portion.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0009] [Outline of the embodiment] First, an outline of the embodiments of the present disclosure will be listed and described.

[0010] (1) A stove according to an embodiment includes a housing that houses a gas burner, a front part that is attached to the front of the housing, and an operating part that is pivotally supported on the front part so as to be rotatable between a storage position in which the operating part is housed in the housing and an operating position that is rotated forward from the storage position. The operating part includes a rotating body that is pivotally supported on the front part, an operating panel that is engaged with the rotating body and has an operating surface that is tilted downward and rearward in the storage position and has the operating surface exposed to the outside in the operating position, and an electrical board that is disposed below the operating panel. The rotating body includes a front wall that is oriented in a vertical direction in the storage position and a bottom wall that forms a space in which the electrical board is housed between the operating panel and the rotating body, and the rotating body extends from the middle of the front wall in the vertical direction. and a bottom wall portion extending rearward, the rear end of which abuts against the operation panel portion rearward of the electrical board, the operation panel portion having a locking portion which extends toward the bottom wall portion rearward of the electrical board and forward of the position where the rear end of the bottom wall abuts, and which has a locking claw formed at its tip, and a first standing wall formed on the surface of the operation panel portion facing the bottom wall portion, the first standing wall extending in the left-right direction rearward of the electrical board and forward of the locking portion, the bottom wall portion having an opening into which the locking portion is inserted and the locking claw is locked at its edge, and a second standing wall formed on the surface of the bottom wall portion facing the operation panel portion, the second standing wall extending in the left-right direction forward of the opening and abutting against the first standing wall.

[0011] In the stove described in (1) above, the first standing wall formed on the surface of the operation panel facing the bottom wall and the second standing wall formed on the surface of the bottom wall facing the operation panel abut behind the electrical board and in front of the opening into which the locking part is inserted, so that even if broth seeps in through the opening, the first standing wall and the second standing wall block the broth, preventing it from seeping into the electrical board. Therefore, according to the stove described in (1) above, it is possible to prevent the broth that has entered through the opening into which the locking portion is inserted from adversely affecting the electrical board housed in the space between the operation panel portion and the bottom wall portion.

[0012] (2) In the stove described in (1) above, the bottom wall portion may have a pull-out port for a harness extending from the electrical board formed at a position forward of the midpoint in the fore-and-aft direction of the bottom wall portion when the operating unit is in the storage position.

[0013] According to the stove described in (2) above, the distance from the rear end of the operation panel to the outlet can be increased, which prevents the broth from entering through the harness outlet compared to when this distance is short, thereby further preventing the broth from adversely affecting the electrical circuit board.

[0014] (3) In the stove described in (2) above, the bottom wall portion has a front bottom wall portion extending rearward from midway up and down the front wall portion, a rear bottom wall portion connected to the rear end of the front bottom wall portion and whose rear end abuts the rear end of the operation panel portion, and a top portion that forms the boundary between the front bottom wall portion and the rear bottom wall portion and extends in the left-right direction, and when the operation portion is in the operating position, the front bottom wall portion and the rear bottom wall portion are inclined downward and forward, and the angle of inclination of the front bottom wall portion with respect to the horizontal plane may be shallower than the angle of inclination of the rear bottom wall portion with respect to the horizontal plane.

[0015] In the stove described in (3) above, when the operating part is in the operating position, the angle of inclination of the front bottom wall relative to the horizontal plane is shallower than the angle of inclination of the rear bottom wall relative to the horizontal plane, so that most of the broth that runs down the underside of the rear bottom wall can be brushed off at the top, thereby further preventing the broth from entering through the harness outlet.

[0016] (4) In the stove described in (3) above, when the operating unit is in the storage position, the top may be located forward of the midpoint of the bottom wall in the front-to-rear direction.

[0017] By placing the top forward of the middle position, the distance between the harness outlet and the electrical circuit board can be increased compared to when the top is placed rearward, so even if the broth gets over the top and trickles down to the harness outlet, it is possible to further prevent the broth from adversely affecting the electrical circuit board.

[0018] [Details of the embodiment] The present disclosure will be described in detail with reference to the exemplary embodiments, but the present disclosure is not limited to these examples and is defined by the scope of the claims, and is intended to include all modifications within the meaning and scope of the claims.

[0019] <Embodiment 1> The first embodiment will be described with reference to Figures 1 to 10. In the following description, the up-down direction and the left-right direction refer to the up-down direction and the left-right direction shown in Figure 1, and the front-rear direction refers to the front-rear direction shown in Figure 2. In the following description, the reference numerals in the drawings may be omitted for the same components, with some exceptions.

[0020] 1. Overall structure of the built-in stove 1 and 2, the overall configuration of a built-in stove 1 as a stove according to the first embodiment will be described. The built-in stove 1 is a gas stove that is installed in a kitchen cabinet. In the following description, the built-in stove 1 will be simply referred to as stove 1.

[0021] As shown in FIG. 1, the stove 1 includes a housing 11, a top plate 12, three gas burners 13 (left gas burner 13L, right gas burner 13R, rear gas burner 13U), a grill section 14, four heat adjustment levers 15 (heat adjustment lever 15A, heat adjustment lever 15B, heat adjustment lever 15C, heat adjustment lever 15D), four ignition buttons 16 (ignition button 16A, ignition button 16B, ignition button 16C, ignition button 16D), a right-side operating section 30 (an example of an operating section), a left-side operating section 31 (an example of an operating section), and two front sections 17 (lower right front section 17R, lower left front section 17L) shown in FIG. 2.

[0022] 2, the housing 11 is made up of multiple parts mainly made of metal. The housing 11 is box-shaped and opens upward, and has a bottom wall (not shown), a right wall 11R, a left wall 11L, and a rear wall 11U. The two front portions 17 are each made of resin, and are attached to the front portion of the housing portion 11 via a plurality of metal members. The front portions 17 will be described later.

[0023] 1, the top plate 12 is disposed on the housing part 11. The top plate 12 has a rectangular shape when viewed from above, and has openings for exposing the three gas burners 13 formed therein. The three gas burners 13 are housed in the housing 11 and are partially exposed above the housing 11. The three gas burners 13 are arranged at positions corresponding to openings formed in the top plate 12.

[0024] The grill unit 14 is disposed in the center in the left-right direction on the front surface of the housing unit 11. The grill unit 14 has a box-shaped grill chamber, a grill door for opening and closing the grill chamber, and a grill burner disposed inside the grill chamber.

[0025] The four heat adjustment levers 15 are arranged two on each side of the grill section 14. Heat adjustment lever 15A adjusts the heat of the left gas burner 13L. Heat adjustment lever 15B adjusts the heat of the rear gas burner 13U, heat adjustment lever 15C adjusts the heat of the grill burner, and heat adjustment lever 15D adjusts the heat of the right gas burner 13R. An ignition button 16 is provided below each heat adjustment lever 15. Ignition button 16A is a button for igniting / extinguishing the left gas burner 13L. Ignition button 16B is a button for igniting / extinguishing the rear gas burner 13U, ignition button 16C is a button for igniting / extinguishing the grill burner, and ignition button 16D is a button for igniting / extinguishing the right gas burner 13R.

[0026] 2. Front section The front portion 17 will be described with reference to Figure 3. As shown in Figure 3, the lower right front portion 17R has a case housing portion 40 that houses a battery case 39. In contrast, the lower left front portion 17L does not have a case housing portion 40, but other configurations are substantially the same as those of the lower right front portion 17R, so the lower right front portion 17R will be described here as an example.

[0027] The right lower front portion 17R has a front wall portion 33, an upper wall portion 34, a bottom wall portion 35, a left wall portion 36, and a right wall portion 37, which are formed in a frame shape. Two pivot shafts 38 that pivotally support the right-side operating unit 30 are formed spaced apart on the left and right sides on the front surface of the lower end of the front wall 33. These pivot shafts 38 extend in the left-right direction. A case housing section 40 that houses a battery case 39 is integrally formed on the upper surface of the bottom wall 35.

[0028] 3.Right side operation section and left side operation section As shown in Fig. 1, the right-side operating unit 30 is attached to the right end of the front surface of the housing 11. The left-side operating unit 31 is attached to the left end of the front surface of the housing 11. As shown in Fig. 4, the right-side operating unit 30 is formed with a recess 64 for inserting and removing the battery case 39 described above back and forth, whereas the left-side operating unit 31 does not have the recess 64. However, other configurations are substantially the same as those of the right-side operating unit 30, so the right-side operating unit 30 will be described here as an example.

[0029] The right-side operating unit 30 is pivotally supported on the lower right front part 17R so as to be rotatable between a storage position shown in Fig. 1 and an operating position shown in Fig. 5. The storage position is a position where the right-side operating unit 30 is stored in the housing part 11, and the operating position is a position where the right-side operating unit 30 is rotated forward from the storage position. The right-side operating unit 30 includes a rotating body 50 shown in FIG. 4, an operating panel unit 51 engaged with the rotating body 50, a plate-shaped lower right decorative panel 53 attached to the front surface of the front wall portion 60 of the rotating body 50, and an electrical board 52 shown in FIG. 6.

[0030] 3-1. Rotating body The rotating body 50 has a front wall portion 60 shown in FIG. 4, a right wall portion 61, a left wall portion 62 shown in FIG. As shown in Figure 4, the front wall 60 is oriented in the up-down direction in the storage position. In other words, the wall surface of the front wall 60 is oriented perpendicular to the horizontal direction in the storage position. A recess 64 is formed in the front wall 60 for inserting and removing the battery case 39 from the front to the rear. Two bearing portions 65 are formed spaced apart on the left and right at the bottom end of the front wall 60. The bearing portions 65 are shaped roughly like the letter C when viewed from the right side. The bearing portions 65 are pressed toward the rotation shaft 38 of the lower right front portion 17R and fitted onto the rotation shaft 38, thereby rotatably supporting the rotating body 50 on the lower right front portion 17R.

[0031] Three protrusions 66 are formed at equal intervals in the left-right direction on the upper end of the front wall 60. Recesses 67 (see FIG. 7) are formed on the backside of these protrusions 66 to engage with engaging portions 76F of the operation panel 51, which will be described later.

[0032] 4, the right wall portion 61 has a generally triangular shape when viewed from the left-right direction. A rotation restricting portion 41 is integrally provided at the rear end of the right wall portion 61. When the rotating body 50 rotates to the operating position, the rotation restricting portion 41 abuts against the upper wall portion 34 of the right lower front portion 17R to restrict further rotation. The shape of the left wall portion 62 is substantially the same as that of the right wall portion, so a description thereof will be omitted.

[0033] 6, the bottom wall 63 extends rearward from the middle of the front wall 60 in the up-down direction. The bottom wall 63 is located below the operation panel 51, and forms a space between the bottom wall 63 and the operation panel 51 to accommodate the electrical board 52. The left and right sides of the bottom wall 63 are connected to the right wall 61 and the left wall 62.

[0034] The bottom wall 63 will be described in more detail with reference to Figure 7. Here, the description will be given assuming that the right-side operation unit 30 is in the storage position. The bottom wall 63 has a front bottom wall 63F extending rearward from midway up and down the front wall 60 in parallel with the operation panel unit 51, and a rear bottom wall 63R continuing to the rear end of the front bottom wall 63F. In the following description, the boundary 72 between the front bottom wall 63F and the rear bottom wall 63R will be referred to as the apex 72. The apex 72 extends in the left-right direction (perpendicular to the plane of the paper in Figure 7). The rear bottom wall 63R extends generally horizontally rearward from the rear end of the front bottom wall 63F. The rear end of the rear bottom wall 63R rises obliquely upward and rearward so as to be generally perpendicular to the rear end of the operation panel 51, and the rear end surface is in surface contact with the underside of the rear end of the operation panel 51.

[0035] As shown in Fig. 8, three openings 73 for engaging the operation panel unit 51 are formed in the rear end of the rear bottom wall 63R. The three openings 73 are arranged at equal intervals in the left-right direction. Each of the three openings 73 has a rectangular shape that is long in the left-right direction. As shown in Fig. 7, a rear edge 73A of each opening 73 is raised so as to be approximately parallel to the operation panel unit 51.

[0036] As shown in Fig. 8, a second standing wall 74 is formed on the surface 63A of the rear bottom wall 63R facing the operation panel unit 51. As shown in Fig. 7, the second standing wall 74 rises upward from the front edge of the opening 73 and extends in the left-right direction (the direction perpendicular to the paper surface in Fig. 7) in front of the opening 73. The second standing wall 74 has a notch at the corner between the upper end surface and the rear surface, forming a stepped surface 74A facing the rear and a horizontal surface 74B located behind the stepped surface 74A.

[0037] As shown in FIG. 8, a lead-out opening 71 for a harness (not shown) extending from the electrical board 52 is formed at the right end of the front bottom wall 63F. The front bottom wall 63F is an example of a position forward of the midpoint in the front-to-rear direction of the bottom wall when the operation unit is in the storage position. A partition wall 75 parallel to the right wall 61 is integrally formed below the bottom wall 63. The partition wall 75 is a wall that prevents the harness from protruding into the storage space of the battery case 39. The harness led out from the lead-out opening 71 passes between the right wall 61 and the partition wall 75 and is drawn into the housing 11.

[0038] 3-2. Operation panel 7, operation panel unit 51 is generally plate-shaped, and various buttons, menu lamps, displays, etc. are provided on operation surface 51A. When operation panel unit 51 is in the storage position, operation surface 51A is tilted downward and backward, and when it is in the operation position, operation surface 51A is exposed to the outside.

[0039] As shown in Fig. 9, the operation panel 51 is integrally formed with a plurality of locking portions 76 extending toward the bottom wall 63 of the rotating body 50. Specifically, three locking portions 76F are formed at the front end of the operation panel 51, and three locking portions 76R are formed at the rear end. The number of locking portions 76 is not limited to six and can be determined appropriately. The locking portions 76 have a certain width in the left-right direction.

[0040] 7, three locking portions 76F formed on the front end portion of the operation panel portion 51 are formed at positions corresponding to recesses 67 formed on the rear surface of the front wall portion 60 of the rotating body 50. Locking claws 77 are formed at the tips of these locking portions 76F. The locking claws 77 protrude forward from the tips of the locking portions 76F. The three locking portions 76R formed at the rear end are formed at positions corresponding to the openings 73 formed in the bottom wall portion 63 of the rotating body 50. These locking portions 76R extend toward the bottom wall portion 63 rearward of the electrical circuit board 52 and forward of the position where the rear end of the bottom wall portion 63 abuts against the operation panel portion 51. Locking claws 78 are formed at the tips of these locking portions 76R. The locking claws 78 protrude rearward from the tips of the locking portions 76R. The side from which the locking claws 78 protrude is not limited to the rearward side, but may be the frontward side.

[0041] The operation panel unit 51 has a locking claw 77 of a locking portion 76F formed at the front end portion thereof locked in a recess 67 formed in the rear surface of the front wall portion 60 of the rotating body 50. Then, a locking portion 76R formed at the rear end portion thereof is inserted into an opening 73 formed in the bottom wall portion 63 of the rotating body 50, and the locking claw 78 is locked to an edge portion 73A of the opening 73. This locks the operation panel unit 51 to the rotating body 50.

[0042] As shown in FIG. 9, a first standing wall 80 that abuts against a second standing wall 74 formed on the bottom wall 63 is formed on a surface 51B of the operation panel 51 that faces the bottom wall 63 of the rotating body 50. As shown in FIG. 7 , the first standing wall 80 extends in the left-right direction behind the electrical circuit board 52 and in front of the locking portion 76R formed at the rear end of the operation panel unit 51. The first standing wall 80 stands vertically upright from the operation panel unit 51. The front surface of the tip end (i.e., the lower end) of the first standing wall 80 is formed as a surface parallel to the step surface 74A of the second standing wall 74. The lower surface of the tip end of the first standing wall 80 is formed as a horizontal surface. The front surface of the tip end of the first standing wall 80 (the surface parallel to the step surface 74A of the second standing wall 74) is in surface contact with the step surface 74A from the rear, and the lower surface (horizontal surface) of the tip end is in surface contact with the horizontal surface 74B of the second standing wall 74 from above. Surface contact is an example of abutment.

[0043] 3-3. Electrical board As shown in Fig. 7, electrical circuit board 52 is disposed below operation panel 51. Control circuits such as a microcomputer, an ASIC (Application Specific Integrated Circuit), and an FPGA (Field Programmable Gate Array) are mounted on electrical circuit board 52. Electrical circuit board 52 controls various actuators (such as a stepping motor that opens and closes a heat control valve, not shown) equipped in stove 1 based on various setting values ​​set on operation panel 51 and detection signals from various sensors (such as a temperature sensor, not shown) equipped in stove 1.

[0044] 3-4. Positional relationship of each part when the front operation part is in the operating position 10, when the right-side operating unit 30 is in the operating position, the front bottom wall 63F and the rear bottom wall 63R are tilted downward and forward. At this time, the angle of inclination of the front bottom wall 63F with respect to the horizontal plane is shallower than the angle of inclination of the rear bottom wall 63R with respect to the horizontal plane. As shown in FIG. 7, when the right operating unit 30 is in the storage position, the top 72 of the bottom wall 63 of the rotating body 50 is located forward of the middle position of the bottom wall 63 in the front-rear direction.

[0045] 4. Functions of the first and second standing walls 6, when the right-side operation unit 30 is in the stored position, the operation surface 51A of the operation panel unit 51 is tilted downward and rearward. Therefore, as shown by dotted line 90, there is a possibility that broth that has entered through the gap between the right-side operation unit 30 and the front wall 33 of the lower-right front unit 17R may flow down the operation surface 51A and reach the rear end of the operation panel unit 51. Then, there is a possibility that the broth that has reached the rear end will not fall but will instead accumulate at the rear end due to surface tension.

[0046] 10, when the right-side operation unit 30 is in the operating position, the bottom wall 63 of the right-side operation unit 30 is in a position that is tilted downward and forward. Therefore, if broth has accumulated at the rear end of the operation panel 51, when the right-side operation unit 30 is rotated to the operating position, the broth may flow around to the underside of the bottom wall 63 and enter the space between the operation panel 51 and the bottom wall 63 through the opening 73 in the bottom wall 63.

[0047] However, in the right-side operation unit 30, the first standing wall 80 formed on the operation panel unit 51 and the second standing wall 74 formed on the bottom wall unit 63 are in surface contact behind the electrical board 52 and in front of the opening 73, so even if the broth enters through the opening 73, the broth is blocked by the first standing wall 80 and the second standing wall 74. This prevents the broth from entering the electrical board 52 side.

[0048] 5. Effects of the embodiment In the stove 1 according to the first embodiment, the broth that seeps in through the opening 73 into which the locking portion 76R is inserted is blocked by the first standing wall 80 and the second standing wall 74, thereby preventing it from adversely affecting the electrical board 52 housed in the space between the operation panel 51 and the bottom wall 63. While the right-side operation unit 30 has been described as an example here, the same applies to the left-side operation unit 31.

[0049] In stove 1, bottom wall 63 is formed with a harness outlet 71 extending from electrical circuit board 52 at a position forward of the midpoint in the fore-and-aft direction of bottom wall 63 when right-side operation unit 30 is in the retracted position. By forming outlet 71 forward of the midpoint, the distance from the rear end of operation panel 51 to outlet 71 can be increased, which makes it possible to prevent broth from entering through harness outlet 71 compared to when this distance is short. This further reduces the adverse effects of broth on electrical circuit board 52.

[0050] According to stove 1, when right-side operating unit 30 is in the operating position, the angle of inclination of front bottom wall 63F relative to the horizontal plane is shallower than the angle of inclination of rear bottom wall 63R relative to the horizontal plane, so most of the broth that has trickled down the underside of rear bottom wall 63R can be brushed away by top 72. This further prevents broth from entering through harness outlet 71.

[0051] According to the stove 1, when the right-side operating unit 30 is in the retracted position, the top 72 is located forward of the midpoint in the front-to-rear direction of the bottom wall 63. By locating the top 72 forward of the midpoint, the distance between the harness outlet 71 and the electrical board 52 can be increased compared to when the top 72 is located rearward. Therefore, even if the sauce flows over the top 72 and toward the harness outlet 71, the sauce can be more effectively prevented from adversely affecting the electrical board 52.

[0052] <Other embodiments> (1) In the above embodiment, the stove 1 is illustrated as having a right-side operating unit 30 and a left-side operating unit 31, but the stove 1 may be equipped with only one of the right-side operating unit 30 and the left-side operating unit 31.

[0053] (2) In the above embodiment, the harness outlet 71 is formed in the bottom wall 63 at a position forward of the midpoint in the fore-and-aft direction of the bottom wall 63 when the right-side operating unit 30 is in the stored position. However, the harness outlet 71 may be formed in a position rearward of the midpoint.

[0054] (3) In the above embodiment, the inclination angle of the front bottom wall portion 63F with respect to the horizontal plane is shallower than the inclination angle of the rear bottom wall portion 63R with respect to the horizontal plane when the right-side operating unit 30 is in the operating position. However, the inclination angle of the front bottom wall portion 63F with respect to the horizontal plane and the inclination angle of the rear bottom wall portion 63R with respect to the horizontal plane may be the same, or the inclination angle of the front bottom wall portion 63F with respect to the horizontal plane may be deeper than the inclination angle of the rear bottom wall portion 63R with respect to the horizontal plane.

[0055] (4) In the above embodiment, when the right-side operating unit 30 is in the storage position, the top 72 is positioned forward of the midpoint in the front-to-rear direction of the bottom wall 63. However, the top 72 may be positioned at the midpoint in the front-to-rear direction of the bottom wall 63, or may be positioned rearward of the midpoint.

[0056] (5) In the above embodiment, the front surface of the tip of the first standing wall 80 (the surface parallel to the step surface 74A) and the step surface 74A of the second standing wall 74 are in surface contact, and further, the lower surface (horizontal surface) of the tip of the first standing wall 80 and the horizontal surface 74B of the second standing wall 74 are in surface contact. In contrast, only the front surface of the tip of the first standing wall 80 and the step surface 74A of the second standing wall 74 may be in surface contact, and the lower surface of the tip of the first standing wall 80 and the horizontal surface 74B of the second standing wall 74 may not be in surface contact. Alternatively, only the lower surface of the tip of the first standing wall 80 and the horizontal surface 74B of the second standing wall 74 may be in surface contact, and the front surface of the tip of the first standing wall 80 and the step surface 74A of the second standing wall 74 may not be in surface contact.

[0057] (6) In the above embodiment, the corner between the upper end surface and the rear surface of the second standing wall 74 is cut out, but the corner does not have to be cut out. In this case, the front surface of the tip of the first standing wall 80 may be in surface contact with the rear surface of the second standing wall 74, or the lower end surface of the first standing wall 80 may be in surface contact with the upper end surface of the second standing wall 74.

[0058] (7) In the above embodiment, surface contact is exemplified as an example of contact between the first standing wall 80 and the second standing wall 74, but the contact between the first standing wall 80 and the second standing wall 74 does not necessarily have to be surface contact. However, it is preferable that the contact be in a form that prevents the broth that has entered through the opening 73 from entering the electrical board 52 side. [Explanation of symbols]
